    Pork and kimchi soondubu
    Francisco D.

    This place is a nice find in Monterey Bay for those looking for their korean food fix. They got most of the usuals like your traditional bonchons, rice cakes and grilled meats. We wanted more of a small plate of galbi. Seems like they had this all-out grilled meat package which would've been the only focus of dinner. So wish they had a happy middle ground. We ended up getting the kimchi pancake, soondubu and bibimbap. Pancake was a bit on the sharp side, probably because of the kimchi. The soondubu didn't come with an egg, so be sure to ask for one. The tofu was definitely still, probably just the types of tofu that was available to them in the area. The kibimbap was actually pretty good. And the bonchons were spot on. The service here was very friendly. Like many korean restaurants, the wait staff is more than happy to help you prep your food at the table, which is a very nice and friendly touch. Overall, pretty average korean food and very friendly service. Its worth checking out.

    Bi Bim Bap and assorted kimchi

    We went for a special meal and it was as good as we remembered! We ordered bulgogi, japchae and seafood bowl. The serving were large and came with assortment of kimchi (cucumber kimchi is my favorite). Wait staff were friendly, helpful and point you in the right direction if you have any questions. Still a great place to have Korean!

    Always good I love the flavor. I can't complain I always get two orders and break them down and that would be my lunch dinner and maybe sometimes breakfast. Just remember it's spicy so it will creep up on you if you're not ready for it but it's damn good.

    Beautiful atmosphere and the ladies working were very helpful and nice! The food itself is the best Korean BBQ I've had thus far. So fresh, and the rice was delicious! My brother and I did the shareable for 2 on the back of the menu, and still took leftovers home! We also tried their wonton soup, and it was so fresh and delicious! I highly recommend trying them out!

    Grilling
    M S.

    1st time here and was such a neat spot for Marina. We tried a bunch of different items and was cool to see the meats grilling. Loved my ramen and the staff were so nice. I like the chicken and pork belly and everything was really fast.

    Came to Marina on a Friday night. Marina's restaurants generally close early and we were staying at the Ramada across the street so we decided to try this place. They have 2 seating areas: cook-your-own kbbq grill area and non-bbq area. We opted for non grill since it was late... I have to commend their customer service because it was really good! They took care of us like we were family visiting town. Definitely loved the family feel. Similar prices of food compared to what Im used to back in the Bay (SJ) but they delivered! Their seafood green onion pancake was SMACCCK!!! Such a gem in the Marina/Seaside/Monterey area!

    Bibimbap

    Great service and a delicious fresh bibimbap! The sides were super tasty. I look forward to returning:)

    Tofu soup
    Christina C.

    Nice to have a Korean place in Marina. Everything was good. My favorite was the beef soup and the kalbi. Ramen tofu soup is not worth the price. It's instant ramen noodles with some tofu. We will go again! It was busy on a Sunday night and only 2 people handling the tables. There was some waiting.

    Great service! Came in on a Sunday afternoon, it wasn't too busy inside and we were greeted and seated right away. The restaurant interior was homey and nice. We got seated in the greenhouse area. Lots of natural light. The food was delicious, hot, and balanced. Would recommend if you're trying Korean food for the first time.

    Great quality food! Came out hot and ready! And love the customer service! Korean BBQ juicy and slightly crisped to perfection! The side are good as well. Fav is the seaweed, kimchi and cucumbers! Love the service! Finally!

My favorites were the Lemongrass Chicken Wings, Chow Mein & Jumbo Salt Pepper Shrimp Their wings reminds me of San Tung wings in sf, the noodles in the chow mein has a nice bouncy texture & the fried shrimp was so crispy, I didn't have to remove the shell. Oh and the shrimp are HUGE I also heard good things about their pho. I noticed other tables around us ordered their different noodle dishes. Their drinks were yummy and I was pleasantly surprised with their options and quality of ingredients for a non Milk Tea specific establishment. The 2 women working the front were very nice & helpful. They were moving nonstop to take orders, serve tables, ring up guest, clean tables and also make drinks. The restaurant has 10-15 tables for seating and plenty of parking outside. The last point that will keep me coming back is the price. While other restaurants push towards $20 plates, QQ does a great job at keeping the menu affordable for all ages I'm sad I haven't tried this restaurant sooner.

The spring rolls were another standout fresh, tightly rolled, and well-made. My only small criticism is that I wish the peanut sauce had a little more flavor and punch to it. Despite the restaurant being very busy, the service was efficient and the staff stayed friendly and attentive throughout. The ambiance is on the smaller side, but the restaurant was clean and comfortable. Overall, a great experience and I'll definitely be coming back!
